multiple vlans on one switch

hi all,

I'm having some issues creating multiple vlans on one swtich (2950).

This is a lab setup that I'm going through in an attempt to learn a bit more about Cisco. I bought 3 1841 routers, and 3 2950 switches and I'm trying different setups.

A particular senario I'm unable to get past is the following:

I'm trying to create two vlans on one switch:

SW1: vlan 30 and vlan 100

ports 23 and 24 are trunks to sw2

SW2: ports 21, 22, 23, 24 are trunks

SW3: vlan 30 and vlan 200

ports 23 and 24 are trunks to sw2

seems simple enough:

R1 connects fa0/1 to vlan 100

R1 connects fa0/0 to vlan 30

R2 connects fa0/0 to vlan 30

R2 connects fa0/1 to vlan 200

and I've a computer plugged in with respective addresses to each vlan 100 and 200

The problem is as follows:

whenever I issue a no shut command on a vlan in any of the switches, I get the error:

%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Vlan23, changed state to up

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Vlan200, changed state to administratively down

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol onInterface Vlan23, changed state to up

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol onInterface Vlan200, changed state to down

And it happens on both switches. It seems I can only have one vlan up at the one time..? Is this a genuine restriction or am I doing something wrong/missing something in the way I'm setting things up?

My configuration is as simiple as:

SW1:

vlan 30

name blue

vlan 100

name orange

int range fa0/1 - 2

switchport mode access

switchport access vlan 100

no shut

int fa0/9

switchport mode access

switchport access vlan 30

no shut

int range fa0/23 - 24

switchport mode trunk

no shut

SW3:

vlan 30

name blue

vlan 300

name green

int range fa01 - 2

swithcport mode access

switchport access vlan 200

no shut

int fa0/9

switchport mode access

switchport access vlan 30

no shut

int range fa0/23 - 24

switchport mode trunk

no shut

SW2:

int range fa0/21 - 24

switchport mode trunk

no shut
